Genetic Engineering

Definition: Purposely modifying the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material.

Example: Using genetic engineer to change to a desired color in a pear.

Identical Twin

Definition: The Twins develop from one zygote

Example: Identical twins have the same physical characteristics or they might not have the same physical characteristics.

Codominance

Definition: A type of dominance when the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are shown.

Example: A person with type AB blood, which means that both the A allele and the B allele are equally expressed.

Blood Blood

A B

Blood Blood A & B Blood B Blood A

A

Zygote

A diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum.

Embryo

A thing at a specific age that helps with development.

A example is how female human has a fertilized egg with a male's sperm

Clone

A process by which an entire organism is reproduced from a single cell taken from the parent 

Ex: Dolly the sheep.

Fraternal Twin

They are twins that don't have the same characteristics,

One twin might be a girl and one might be a boy or they are the same gender but they look different.

Conjoined Twins

Conjoined Twins are twins that are physically combined when they are born.

This means that a baby could have two heads!!!

Symptoms

A physical or mental feature that is expressed when your sick or its just allergies.

Some symptoms for having a cold are that you have a stuffy or runny nose, you sneeze and you cough a lot.

Transgenic Manipulation

To place genes in one organism to another organism's genome.

Animals generated in the lab for reasearch.
